United KingdomResearchers have developed a method to synthesize DNA-based hierarchical network materials using two types of biomolecular nanomachines, DNA polymerase and molecular motors. This approach mimics natural biological processes where multiple nanomachines work sequentially to form complex structures. The study, led by scientists from institutions in Japan and Taiwan, demonstrates a two-step process: first, DNA polymerase amplifies DNA templates on microtubules, and second, kinesin motor proteins move these microtubules, causing their DNA strands to connect and form organized, fiber-like networks. This breakthrough could advance the creation of nonequilibrium materials that replicate the self-organization seen in living systems.
